BEND, OR -- Central Oregon Community College is reviving a popular free recreational opportunity, after a 10-year hiatus.

"We used to have an 18-hole disc golf course, before we expanded some of our facilities. And the community has really been supportive of wanting to expand that and bring that back," COCC's Alicia Moore tells KBND News, "We don’t have capacity for 18 holes, but it will be a nine-hole disc golf course. The hope is to have that open later this year, if not early winter." 

The original course was where Wickiup Hall stands now. This new one is going in along Mount Washington Drive. "It’s on the western edge of our Bend campus, near our library. So, open to the community; open to the college; free. Our students are super excited about it, so a great opportunity to come up and see the campus in a different way."

The nearly $19,00 project will be paid for primarily by fundraising and hole sponsorships.
